The position regarding funding approved to date in 2007 is as follows. On 28 February 2007, I approved funding of €5,698 for a single to three phase electricity conversion for a business in the Limerick West DED of Ballintober under the CLÁR Programme.

In addition, on 1st March 2007, I announced — along with Dick Roche T.D., Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government — funding for local secondary and tertiary roads under the Programme. Limerick County Council received €179,551.10 for allocation to CLÁR areas within that county. The decision as how much of that funding is spent on roads in CLÁR areas in Limerick West is a matter for the local authority.

The processing of the approximately 1,300 applications received by my Department under this Programme is ongoing and to date I have announced two tranches of funding. The group referred to by the Deputy is not amongst those so far processed, however, I will be announcing further allocations of funding under this Programme in the coming period and I expect that, following completion of the assessment process, I will be in a position to make a decision regarding this group at that time.

Under the CLÁR Programme, Group Water Schemes are selected by the Local Authority on foot of applications received from local groups. Applications are then forwarded to my Department if the cost of the scheme is such that additional funding is required. To date, my Department has no record of having received an application for the scheme referred to by the Deputy.
